48-1253
#2

Well, good luck to you, Greg. I hope it arrives safely.

A few weeks ago, an eBay seller sent me a very poorly packed Philco 52C that arrived, literally, in pieces. He had the nerve to get UPS to send me a refund. He should have refunded me out of his own pocket. It isn't right that he gets to keep the $$ I sent him and UPS had to pay for his lack of packing skills. I guess they don't inspect damaged packages anymore as he filed a claim and they sent me a check, no questions asked.

And today, a big 38-2670B empty cabinet arrived. The nimrod wrapped it in some cardboard and sent it on its way to me - no packing whatsoever! And to top it all off, the cabinet was shipped upside down within its thin cardboard covering. Amazingly, it made it here without damage. It's unbelievable to me that it did not get damaged.
